Original “The People’s Court” Judge Joseph Wapner, who’s turning 90 this Sunday, returns to his TV “bench” on Friday’s show (10 a.m./Ch. 9) to preside over a case. Wapner’s TV return is tied to both his birthday and his new star on the Holly wood Walk of Fame.

“He was great. It was vin tage Joe,” says “People’s Court” Judge Marilyn Mi lian. “It was just like seeing him all those years ago. He just came right in, sat right down . . . you can’t fake that. There’s no script on our show. He’s really on the ball — we should all be so blessed.”

“Judge Judy“ Sheindlin, meanwhile, will be honored by NATPE in January with the Brandon Tartikoff Legacy Award.

My colleague Linda Stasi, meanwhile, programmed last Saturday’s “Night of Married Murder” slate on cable’s ID. It pulled in 236,000 women 25-54 — up 54 percent over the timeslot average.
